Our Tiny Seedlings are Growing...

 

Tiny seedling are growing right before our eyes. We have planted peas, poppies, chard, brussels sprouts, spinach, lettuce, carrots and radishes in our class garden. We have been constructing our own guesses (hypothesis), formulating our own ideas, asking so many questions, and observing things that include flowers, dirt, soil, leaves, rain water, seeds, plants, sand, rocks and mud. 

  

We are becoming familiar with most of the tools that we have in our science classroom. We have been measuring with rulers and tape measures. We've been looking at things through our magnifying glasses. We've tested the weight of different rocks with our class scale. We protect our eyes with our science goggles and we've sorted seeds with lab tweezers! 

 

Our students are curious about the world around them. Students have explored and collected so many items that they have found in nature. We've come across worms in the mud, bees on flowers, dragonflies in the sky, snails in the rain, mantis's in the grass and ladybugs in our garden.
